Chris can you upgrade to that unit from a '03 model? If so what would be involved?

The command unit looks great , wish I had the knowledge to convert my 05 sl600 to the latest unit so I can use my IPhone. Anyone out there have the same problem ? How have you overcome this .

These can NOT look like this on a car like this in my opinion. So time to replace them with new OEM ones.



Removed the old ones and cleaned under them.



And here is the new ones in place. Huge difference.

Now time to install the panoramic roof....




First I removed the headliner..



Then you just remove all the parts on the old roof.



Here I remove the rubber moulding. Just sits with 4 screws



Here all is losen and old roof removed.



Here I move all parts from the old roof to the new.



Panorama in place! Now it is only to mount all back in reverse order



From the inside. Now only the new headliner and sun rollo is lef to intall!



Finnished!!!

Any reason why you ordered the SL550 fenders instead of SL63/65 fenders?

Fenders are the same an all models. Only the lourves(grille inserts) that differ. Fenders where used. Right lourves ordered separatrly.

Love the pano roof install! Very interesting that you can simply purchase the celsius scales instead of replacing the whole unit.
@andy- the only difference with AMG fenders are the plastic grille inserts. He can easily swap those 550/600 style vents with the 63/65 vent. Just replace the plastic grille!

You can not. I bought the hole used unit that didnt have the right features and took it apart and just used the scales.
